The glass reactor is an ideal teaching, experimental, pilot, and production equipment for modern fine chemicals and new material synthesis, holding great potential in the domestic market. It is a commonly used biochemical instrument, widely chosen by modern fine chemical industries, scientific research experiments, and other sectors. It can perform concentration, distillation, retention, separation, and purification reactions under constant speed, force, and temperature conditions. The inner layer, with the placement of reaction solvents, can facilitate stirring reactions. The jacket, through the circulation of cold and hot sources (refrigerant fluid, water, heat-conducting oil), can achieve constant temperature heating or cooling of the inner layer, controlling the distillation and reflux of the reaction solvent. It comes in double-layer and single-layer configurations.
During the production process, both double-layered glass reactors and single-layer glass reactors can typically perform high-temperature, low-temperature, and vacuum reaction experiments simultaneously. Under isothermal conditions, within a sealed vessel, glass reactors can operate with stirring and reactions under atmospheric or negative pressure, and can control the evaporation and reflux of the reaction solution. In high-temperature conditions, glass reactors can carry out chemical and chemical engineering reactions. Moreover, with different performance structures and heating methods, reactors also offer a variety of options, including steam heating, water heating, and electric heating.
Glass Reactor Maintenance and Repair
Thoroughly inspect the instrument before use, check for any cracks in the glass bottle and ensure all interfaces fit properly, handle with care.
2. Wipe all interfaces with a soft cloth (tissue paper can be used as an alternative), then apply a small amount of vacuum grease. (Always cover the vacuum grease after use to prevent dust and sand from entering.)
3. Do not tighten the interfaces of the glass reactors too much; they should be loosened and lubricated regularly to prevent long-term tightness from causing the connectors to seize.
4. First, turn on the power switch, then let the machine run from slow to fast. When shutting down, ensure the machine is in the stopped state before turning off the switch.
Do not over-tighten the PTFE switches at various locations, as they are prone to damaging the glass.
6. After each use, clean the machine surface thoroughly with a soft cloth to remove all oil stains, dirt, and solvent residues, ensuring cleanliness.
7. After shutdown, loosen all PTFE switches. Long-term idleness in the working state can deform the PTFE piston.
Regularly clean the sealing rings by removing them, inspecting the shaft for dirt accumulation, wiping it clean with a soft cloth, applying a small amount of vacuum grease, and then reassembling. This maintains smooth operation between the shaft and the sealing ring.
9. Electrical components must not come into contact with water, and it is strictly prohibited to be damp.
10. It is mandatory to purchase genuine, factory-certified parts; using any other components can cause fatal damage to the machine.
Always disconnect the power and water supply before any repairs or inspections on glass reactors.
Glass Reactor Selection
High chemical stability, heat resistance, and low coefficient of expansion.
2. Reflux Condenser: The liquid vaporizes in the kettle, rises into the condenser to transfer heat to the cooling medium, and the steam condenses back into liquid, flowing back into the kettle. This ensures a thorough reaction.
3. Glass Material: Enables Effective Observation of Experimental Process
4. Agitator Blades: Select the appropriate agitator blade based on the material properties. Generally, they are categorized into paddle, anchor, frame, ribbon, turbine, disperser disk, and combination types. Choose the suitable agitator blade based on parameters such as the volume and viscosity of the material.
5. Blender: Ensures uniform mixing of reactants and complete reaction.
